Sitting in on the "The New Norm for Organizational Structure" panel at the #ACGMemberSummit. Here is a thread with some highlights:

Employers should emulate the countries that tackled COVID-19 head-on, says Greg Mansur, chief client officer at EHE Health.

Another way companies may adapt to the post-coronavirus world as employees return to work is by having the right process to respond if an employee comes down with a contagious illness.

Redesigning things as simple as the flow of foot traffic is another strategy.

Designating a "COVID-19" captain, a person to go to for questions is an important addition.

Employers should also address mental health ahead of reopening their businesses to reduce anxieties.

Pam Hendrickson, COO of private equity firm The Riverside Company, says some of the firm's companies have revised guidelines addressing coronavirus.

Determining which companies are essential is a challenge the firm is facing, as is diversifying of customer base and shortening supply chains, Henrickson says.

COVID-19 lead to a culling talent, and companies are asking if they're left with the right people. Performance and competence are things companies need to consider going forward—using technology is an emerging asset, Hendrickson says.

Cross-training—having an employee who can perform the job of two or three other—is another area of value. "Every position should have a backup," Hendrickson says.

Whether job culture takes a backseat to job content is an emerging question for employers as more jobs are performed virtually.

Cybersecurity is still a major liability, especially as more employees work remotely.

In a poll taken during the panel, 46% of attendees said they're considering changing their real estate footprint post-coronavirus.

Millennials could challenge the relevance of the 8-hour workday, in longer-term trends, Hendrickson says.

Employees are feeling more connected to their peers, but less connected to their leaders.

Increasing density in real-estate development was an asset pre-coronavirus, now its a liability, Hendrickson says.

Employers can't use the promising antibody test for coronavirus screening, but alternatives exist, Mansur says.

Tests screening for past exposure to COVID-19 becoming more common, Mansur says.
